âIt doesnât matter, does it, Mommy, if you stayed by my side through it?â he asked carefully, tugging gently at her sleeve. âJust once, please?â
Yun Shishi looked hesitantly at the boy, then back at Alice.
Alice put her hand over her heart and expressed earnestly, âDonât worry, I definitely wonât cut up Youyou. Iâm just going to dig up Gong Fanâs shadow by examining his sleep pattern and through trance hypnosis.â
Yun Shishi hesitated again, then finally nodded with difficulty. Alice had not expected her to agree, and was stunned when she did! She had initially expected to be rebuffed again, but the woman actually agreed! She was stunned for a long time before snapping back to her senses.
Yun Shishi said solemnly, âI trust you because the boy trusts you, too.â
âYes, I understand. Donât worry, I wonât let you down.â
â¦
Sleep monitoring didnât require complex equipment. Alice secured a sleep monitor from the headquarters and hurriedly returned that night with it.
Inside the room, she instructed the boy to lie on the bed, and then put a sleep-monitoring headrest on him. When she turned on the power, his brain waves were displayed on the compact screen.
âWhatâs this?â
âThis is your brainwave.â
âSo, whatâs the theory, based on sleep monitoring?â The boy suddenly realized he wasnât asking the right question. âWhy do you want to monitor my sleep?â he asked again.
âIâll be able to pinpoint many problems from the frequency of your brainwaves during your sleep. You can tell a lot from the details of the frequency.â
Alice said to the boy, âGet some sleep!â
âI canât sleep just yet.â
Alice was stunned. âYour mommy said you usually sleep at this hour!â
âBut itâs very uncomfortable to wear this instrument!â The boy fiddled with the device on his head and frowned. âItâs falling off.â
Alice made another careful adjustment for him. âHow about this?â
âThatâs better.â
Yun Shishi entered the room quickly, and the boyâs eyes lit up when he saw her. âWhy donât you let Mommy tell me some stories? That way, I might be able to sleep.â
âYou donât have to make a point of telling bedtime stories. Just shut your eyes. I want to monitor the quality of your sleep, including the extent and duration of your sleep,â Alice said.
The boy lost interest and told her earnestly. âUsually, Mommy tells me bedtime stories. Iâll feel uncomfortable if that doesnât happen.â
âIt means you rely too much on your mommy. Can your mommy tell you bedtime stories for the rest of your life?â Alice said, nudging him urgently. âClose your eyes and sleep!â
The boy gave an old-fashioned sigh at that, and closed his eyes briefly. He lay down and stared at the ceiling. Then he closed his eyes briefly and squinted, but there was no sign of sleep.
Alice asked, âDonât you want to sleep?â
âYeah, I canât sleep.â The boy mumbled something. His eyes were closed, but his eyelids were twitching..
âRelax.â Alice turned back to the monitor. On the screen, the frequency was bouncing wildly, suggesting that the boyâs mind was racing.
No wonder he wanted Yun Shishi to tell him stories. His attention would be focused on her storytelling voice. Instead, he would enter a trance and slowly fall asleep.
